We offer courses in: Awareness in environmental technologies, Rainwater harvesting, Solar thermal, Photo voltaic, Heat pumps, Electric/hybrid vehicle maintenance and repairs.

Growing provision for Green Technology training

In September 2022, we launched the Green Construction Centre at our Abingdon Campus; and in early 2023 we expanded the provision with the installation of our new Renewable Technology Suite.

Together, these facilities provide space for full-time students and adult learners to progress their career in the construction and building services industries, with an emphasis on sustainable materials, techniques and technologies.

Learn to build a greener future

As the scope for renewable technologies grow, knowledge about these new products, their installation and maintenance is expected to become a standard requirement for newly qualified Plumbing and Heating Engineers.

We want all our students to stay at the forefront of the industry and we have embraced the opportunity to educate ambassadors for change.

Alongside our apprenticeships and full-time courses, we also offer introductory day courses, week-long conversion courses and top-up courses for already qualified gas engineers looking to upskill.

We provide training for full time students (aged 16+) who have just left school, adults wanting to expand their knowledge, and professionals looking to expand their services.

We offer courses for individuals but can also tailor our provision to meet the needs of employers looking to upskill their team.
